Disabled or Enabled

I'm not feeling good at all, haven't been and been declining in the last week. Not sure if it's MG, still the reaction to the prescription, or something else. A few days back it was my arms, hands, fingers and could barely type. Now it's my legs not really working at all. Anyways, I felt God telling me to write on a topic, so I'm listening to Him and writing.

When diagnosed with a serious chronic illness, many find themselves categorized under "disabled." It's true we have less physical abilities than we had before... many less. It's true we cannot physically do what the majority of society can do. It's true that we may need to use a handicap placard, wheel chair or other assistive devices. It's true that our lives have completely changed.

But we are looking at once sense of life here- the physical sense, worldly in fashion. In that sense, we are disabled. But are we truly disabled? When I say truly, Jesus is truth, so in the eyes of Jesus are we disabled? I don't believe so. In fact, I believe some of us actually become enabled... enabled with the Holy Spirit. That's what happened to me.

Everything is spoken about in context. The context of disability is related to physical. But if we change the context, perhaps many are disabled and few obtain the saving grace in becoming enabled.

Don't look at yourself as a body. Look at yourself as a soul with the gift of the Spirit. When you make that change, and separation in a sense, having a "disability" becomes, dare I say, easier. Your body becomes your job, to take care of and not quit. But YOU are your soul with the gift of the Spirit. Many won't make the separation or even understand the possibility of one. Many will focus strictly on the physical sense, the body. They will bring you down, live entirely in the worldly limits. But deep down inside you know the truth, the real life. Stay in that mindset. Stay positive, stay focused, and stay close to God guiding you. Take care of your body, but don't let it limit you.

Get outside of that box. I'm certain there are at least a few who read "don't let it limit you" and thought ok get out there, get a job or physically do more. Nope. I do not mean push yourself. We with MG know that is the worst thing we can do. But allow your soul to be redeemed. (I just looked that up to make sure I wasn't way off in what I just said as I didn't know- and I quote Psalms 49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. End quote. It's things like this that make me know I am writing in the Spirit and not the flesh because I did not know that verse before now.)

Everything is within context. What context are you living in? Worldly, in the flesh- I am disabled. In the Spirit- I am enabled. My wish for all is that you all become enabled. Allow it to happen. Give up preconceived notions, give up things, give up restrictions, give it all up to God and He will give it all to you.

This is more of a post for my other blog, so maybe I'll paste it into there too. But I was told to write it in this one, so I hope there is someone out there reading this who needs to hear this message. After all, I am a vessel for God. Let His message be delivered.

Love to all. And asking for prayers for my health and for my day, and let's just say for this whole week as it's not an easy one. Thank you!
